Advance praise for The Power Laws
"This book boils down the insights from science, from Newton to now, to compile a practical manual for
success in business and life. It's a terrific tour-de-force ."
James A Lawrence, Executive Vice-President, General Mills
"Intriguing and very unusual. Koch is saying things that really need saying, but that you don't hear said
elsewhere. Both intellectual and practical, the book is above all highly readable and thought provoking."
Dr Jules Goddard, Fellow, London Business School
"Exciting stuff! The Power Laws touches on many of the most important debates going on in academic and
business circles, and yet goes beyond them in generating ideas for anyone in business. A major shift in the way
we think about the corporation and management is imminent, and this book makes a major contribution to fresh
thinking."
Dr Marcus Alexander, Director, Ashridge Strategic Management Centre
"The theory of business genes alone is a good reason for buying this book. And we get sixteen other major
scientific principles thrown in as well! The content is academically respectable and often state-of-the-art, but
what is particularly impressive is how accessible it all is. Clear and simple, but also authoritative and bursting
with insight."
Dr Peter Johnson, Fellow, Exeter College, Oxford
"I never knew that science could be so useful in business! A real revelation."
Chris Outram, Senior Partner, OC&C Strategy Consultants
